It’s no secret Mac opened up recruiting strong. When he first arrived in Gainesville, he sealed the deal on five-star recruits Martez Ivey and Cece Jefferson, four-star recuits Jordan Scarlett and Jordan Cronkrite, and beloved three-star recruit Antonio Callaway.

In the class of 2016, things started off pretty well, but things tailed by National Signing Day. The Gators did finish with the 12th best class, correct, but things should have been much better than they panned out.
